¹ I reče Gospod Avramu: Idi iz zemlje svoje i od roda svog i iz doma oca svog u zemlju koju ću ti ja pokazati.

² I učiniću od tebe velik narod, i blagosloviću te, i ime tvoje proslaviću, i ti ćeš biti blagoslov.

³ Blagosloviću one koji tebe uzblagosiljaju, i prokleću one koji tebe usproklinju; i u tebi će biti blagoslovena sva plemena na zemlji.

⁴ Tada pođe Avram, kao što mu kaza Gospod, i s njim pođe Lot. A beše Avramu sedamdeset i pet godina kad pođe iz Harana.

⁵ I uze Avram Saru ženu svoju i Lota sina brata svog sa svim blagom koje behu stekli i s dušama koje behu dobili u Haranu; i pođoše u zemlju hanansku, i dođoše u nju.

⁶ I pođe Avram tu zemlju do mesta Sihema i do ravnice moreške; a behu tada Hananeji u toj zemlji.

⁷ I javi se Gospod Avramu i reče: Tvom semenu daću zemlju ovu. I Avram načini onde žrtvenik Gospodu, koji mu se javio.

⁸ Posle otide odande na brdo, koje je prema istoku od Vetilja, i onde razape šator svoj, te mu Vetilj beše sa zapada a Gaj s istoka; i onde načini Gospodu žrtvenik, i prizva ime Gospodnje.

⁹ Odande otide Avram dalje idući na jug.

¹⁰ Ali nasta glad u onoj zemlji, te Avram siđe u Misir da se onde skloni; jer glad beše velika u onoj zemlji.

¹¹ A kad se približi da većuđe u Misir, reče Sari ženi svojoj: Gle, znam da si žena lepa u licu.

¹² Zato kad te vide Misirci reći će: Ovo mu je žena. Pa će me ubiti, a tebe će ostaviti u životu.

¹³ Nego hajde kaži da si mi sestra, te će meni biti dobro tebe radi i ostaću u životu uz tebe.

¹⁴ I kad dođe Avram u Misir, videše Misirci ženu da je vrlo lepa.

¹⁵ I videše je knezovi Faraonovi, i hvališe je pred Faraonom. I uzeše je u dvor Faraonov.

¹⁶ I on činjaše dobro Avramu nje radi, te imaše ovaca i goveda i magaraca i sluga i sluškinja i magarica i kamila.

¹⁷ Ali Gospod pusti velika zla na Faraona i na dom njegov radi Sare žene Avramove.

¹⁸ Tada dozva Faraon Avrama i reče mu: Šta mi to učini? Zašto mi nisi kazao da ti je žena?

¹⁹ Zašto si kazao: Sestra mi je? Te je uzeh za ženu. Sad eto ti žene, uzmi je, pa idi.

²⁰ I Faraon zapovedi ljudima za nj, te ga ispratiše i ženu njegovu i šta god imaše.

¹ The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.

² On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

³ God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which he had created and made.

⁴ This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.

⁵ No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

⁶ but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.

⁷ Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

⁸ Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

⁹ Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰ A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.

¹¹ The name of the first is Pishon: this is the one which flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

¹² and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.

¹³ The name of the second river is Gihon: the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.

¹⁴ The name of the third river is Hiddekel: this is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

¹⁵ Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

¹⁶ Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

¹⁷ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."

¹⁸ Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

¹⁹ Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

²⁰ The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.

²¹ Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

²² He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.

²³ The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man."

²⁴ Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

²⁵ They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
